Chapter 64 – Sacred Heavenly Demonic skill

“You’re right. Those three demon lords were caught by the inner circle disciples, but I never expected this black hawk to escape again. This aerial demon beast must have some advantage when it comes to escaping.”

Big Yellow said.

“En, a useless dog like you has done something great today. Good job!”

Big Yellow looked angry, but his barking only made Jiang Chen start laughing out loud.

Not long after that, Jiang Chen, Big Yellow and the old man returned to the Yan family grounds. Yan Zhan Yun had prepared a special house for them, and no one was allowed to even get close to it.

Within the house, Jiang Chen and the old man were standing face to face with each other. The old man had a polite look, and he didn’t share show any hints of disrespect. In his heart, he might not be happy with this kind of attitude, but he couldn’t fight it as his own life rested in the hands of Big Yellow. With a single thought from Big Yellow, he would die.

What was even more pitiful was that he even felt some hatred towards Big Yellow, but he still had to pray that Big Yellow would live forever. The reason for this was because once Big Yellow died, the Divine Sense Seed in his mind would explode, killing him as well.

The old man’s expression changed. The Blood Winged Hawk’s Demon’s Soul was incredibly useful to him. It was worth a fortune to him, and now Jiang Chen simply asked him to hand it over. It really upset him.

“Hand it over now, how dare you refuse your master’s order? Do you believe I can’t give you a horrible death at any time?”

Big Yellow let out a cold humph.

“Yes…”

The old man nodded his head as he hurriedly took out the Demon’s Soul. This dog was a mean entity. That was why he didn’t dare refuse anything Big Yellow said. Compared to the Blood Winged Hawk’s Demon’s Soul, his life was more important.

Looking at the blood red Demon’s Soul, Jiang Chen’s eyes immediately lit up. He had seen almost everything, and he could instantly identify it just by looking at it. This Demon’s Soul was indeed a Blood Winged Hawk’s Demon’s Soul. It contained the complete bloodline of the Blood Winged Hawk.

This Demon’s Soul originated from a Blood Winged Hawk at the Late Mortal Core realm, which was just the thing he needed. According to Jiang Chen’s estimation, if he absorbed this Demon’s Soul and the energy contained within by using the Dragon Transformation skill to absorb the Blood Winged Hawk’s bloodline, he would be able to break through to the Mortal Core realm.

“But master is only a human, this Demon’s Soul doesn’t have much use for master. I’m a hawk, so this Blood Winged Hawk’s Demon’s Soul is perfect for me!”

The old man wouldn’t give up.

Jiang Chen gazed at the old man, and then he grabbed the Demon’s Soul.

“Don’t worry, I won’t take this for granted. I’ll give you a Sacred Heavenly Demonic skill. If you cultivate with the skill, you’ll get more than what this Demon’s Soul can provide. Breaking through to the Demon King Realm in the future won’t be impossible either.”

Jiang Chen said before he sent the script for the Sacred Heavenly Demonic skill to the old man through his Divine Sense. The old man’s body was trembling, his eyes intensifying in brightness until it finally looked like a holy light was emitting from his eyes.

The Sacred Heavenly Demonic skill was obtained from a strong Demonic Saint in Jiang Chen’s past life; it was a holy skill for demons. If it was categorized according to the system humans were using, it would be a skill of the Saint level.

In the Saint continent, anything related to a Saint was a precious treasure. No matter if it was a cultivation skill, a combat skill, or a combat weapon, they were all the same. A demonic cultivation skill was even rarer. In Jiang Chen’s past life, he had been involved in a lot of things, and he had still not found many demonic saint skills. Although he couldn’t cultivate the Sacred Heavenly Demonic skill, he had still memorized it. Today he passed this skill to the old man. Aside from the reason that he had been given the Demon’s Soul, Jiang Chen had another motive.

Not long after this he would start his real journey, and the Jiang family was the only thing he was worried about. If there was a Demon Lord residing in the Jiang mansion capable of protecting them, Jiang Chen would be able to be at ease. The stronger the old man was, the more help he would be able to provide

After the Sacred Heavenly Demonic script had been completely transferred, the old man was so excited that his body was trembling. He kneeled down and said, “Thank you master for this amazing gift! Thank you master for this amazing gift!”

The old man’s eyes were filled with tears, and the way he looked at Jiang Chen had now completely changed. Although Jiang Chen was only at the Qi Hai realm, the old man’s image of Jiang Chen had become like a mountain.

This was a Demonic Saint cultivation skill. This young man in front of him could simply give him a Saint level skill, was this something a mortal could do? This was unbelievable. Even those powerful Demonic Lords in legends didn’t have Demonic Saint cultivation skills.

Besides, even if they had such a powerful Sacred Heavenly Demonic skill, who would ever share it with someone else? There was not a single saint skill in the Eastern Continent, and not only did Jiang Chen possess one, he also just gave it out nonchalantly. This kind of boldness, this kind of mysteriousness, he had completely conquered the old man.

What Jiang Chen said was right. For the old man, this Sacred Heavenly Demonic skill’s value was much greater than the Blood Winged Hawk’s Demon’s Soul.

“Damn you, why does a boy like you know a Sacred Heavenly Demonic skill? Don’t tell me you’re some old reincarnated devil. Tell me quickly what other good stuff you have, let your father get some benefits as well!”

Big Yellow Dog looked at Jiang Chen in surprised. He had always felt that Jiang Chen was mysterious, but when he saw Jiang Chen simply gave out the Sacred Skill of Heavenly Demonic, he was still deeply shocked by it.

“Move aside; this demonic cultivation skill has no use for you.”

Jiang Chen said helplessly. This guy was a Dragon Horse. His bloodline was at the top of all demon beasts, so there was no need for him to cultivate any demonic skills. If he really forced himself and used a demonic cultivation method, it would actually end up limiting his potential.

“I’ll need to cultivate behind closed doors. Both of you help me guard the entrance, and don’t let anyone disturb me.”

Jiang Chen said as he turned around and walked into the room.

“Bastard, now you’re being arrogant…”

Big Yellow looked at Jiang Chen and said helplessly. After that, he told the old man who just stood up from his kneeling position, “Go, guard the door, your father will be sleeping here.”

“Yes.”

The old man bowed politely towards Big Yellow before happily walking towards the door leading to where Jiang Chen resided. His face was filled with happiness, and the feeling of dismay was now all gone. He had learned a Sacred Heavenly Demonic skill; this really was his lucky day.

Inside the room, Jiang Chen sat with his legs crossed. The blood red Demon’s Soul was floating in the air in front of his face. Jiang Chen didn’t swallow the Demon’s Soul immediately; this was his first time attempting to absorb a Demon’s Soul that contained a rare bloodline. He needed to adjust his form to perfection and circulate the Dragon Transformation skill to its maximum potential.

Big Yellow was laying on a huge green rock in the courtyard and sleeping without a single worry. The old man was standing outside the main door, acting as Jiang Chen’s loyal guardian while at the same time studying the Sacred Heavenly Demonic skill silently.

The night was dark, and the wind was howling. In the Center Square, blood was flowing everywhere. It was a bloody battle. The Lee family had lost Lee Shan Yue, and not only had they lost their supporting pillar, they had also lost all their spirit. Under such circumstances, what was left for them was the Yan family’s slaughter.

The battle lasted only for half an hour before it came to its conclusion; the Lee family had been defeated. Blood, corpses, limbs, legs, they could all be seen everywhere. This was definitely the most intense battle in Red city’s history.

More than a hundred people from the Lee family had died, and the rest had all surrendered. They were cornered by the men from the Yan family, all their faces grey. They didn’t know what fate had in store for them.

“Chief, what should we do with these men?”

Yan Yang said in high spirit.

“Kill them all! Before Brother Jiang Chen left earlier, he told me that we need to get rid of the weeds from its root!”

An old man at the Mortal Core realm from the Yan family said.

“No!”

Yan Chen Yu shouted out in panic. Her face was pale and looked upset. As a naïve girl who had never experienced anything in the outside world before, she had never seen a scene like this. Just now in the battle, she had used the freezing cold in her Nine Yin Meridians to kill two people. This had given her a bad feeling. It would be too cruel if they were to kill all these men, she just couldn’t accept it.

“Dad, they’ve surrendered, killing them would just be too cruel! I believe what Big Bro Jiang Chen meant was not this!”

Yan Chen Yu said.

Yan Zhan Yun touched Yan Chen Yu’s head tenderly, his face filled with pity. His daughter had a merciful heart. She was naïve, and that would only make her suffer in the future. This was the reason why he made her participate in this battle. The feeling you get when killing someone for the first time was not a good one, but since she would soon venture into the world of cultivation, she had to get used to it. If she didn’t, she would only suffer when entering the inner parts of the Qi Province.

Yan Chen Yu possessed a Divine Body. This little city would not be able to hold her for long. Besides, his daughter was in love with Jiang Chen. Who was Jiang Chen? He was a man of chaos! In order for her to be a woman who could always stand by his side, she could not be a burden.

“Step back Yu’er, your dad knows how to handle this, and I know what Brother Jiang Chen really meant!”

Yan Zhan Yun said as he took a step forward. His cold vision gazed at all the men from the Lee family, “Kill everyone from the Lee family! As for those coming from dependent families, I’ll accept your surrender, but you’ll need to go through an assessment!”

With this, Yan Zhan Yun had decided the destinies of the men from the Lee family. This was similar to how Jiang Chen had handled the Mu Rong family, but he was more merciful than Jiang Chen as he accepted the surrender from the dependent families.

Yan Zhan Yun understood what Jiang Chen had told him: get rid of the weed from its roots. The weed was the Lee family itself. As for the rest of the men who had surrendered, he couldn’t kill them as well. The Yan family were now the rulers of this city, so he needed to show a little bit of mercy.

Yan Chen Yu sighed. She left the Center Square with a lonely feeling. Yan Yang hurriedly walked after her. Today’s battle had a huge impact on Yan Chen Yun. This little girl would need a few days to get used to it.

But this couldn’t be avoided. The environment shaped a person’s character; she had to get used to it sooner or later.

I’m sure Yan Chen Yu will learn to balance intelligence and morality in the future.
Adventuring through the wilderness will iron up her mind and teach her that survival rules above all else.
Meeting a bunch of bandits, or witnessing victims of treachery hidden behind a veil of politeness, will teach her that Humans are no different than the beasts and monsters, only with the added ability to create, cause and effect, and influence their surroundings. Manipulation being the defining trait that makes Humans special.

With the cultivation world being as it is, where the more powerful you are, the more possible it is to erase a whole city of innocent people with the swipe of a hand in these novels, she will understand why treating cultivators needs to be done in ruthless and emotionless manner, like handling atomic bombs.

The cultivation world tends to follow Confucian ideals. In Confucianism, revenge is not intrinsically immoral, rather it is the opposite. Revenge is not only honorable, it is often a moral obligation. For example: “If the father is killed unjustly, then the son’s revenge for the father is acceptable” and, “A son who does not avenge his father is not a son.”

The only exception to this is when the killing was just (e.g. self-defense against murder, killing a robber in the act, etc.). “When someone has been acting justly in killing another person, there must not be any revenge, and those who take revenge will be put to death.”

This seeming contradiction is Confucianism’s attempt to balance human nature with the needs of the state. “To follow nature is the way. To adjust the way is civilization.”
